As neoliberal capitalism destroys democracy, commonwealth, and
planetary ecology, the need for radically rethinking and generating
transformative responses to these catastrophes is greater than
ever. Given that, Romand Coles presents an invigorating new mode of
scholarship and political practice he calls "visionary pragmatism."
Coles explores the profound interrelationships among everyday
micropractices of grassroots politics and pedagogy, institutional
transformation, and political protest through polyfocal lenses of
political and social theory, neuroscience research, complex systems
theory, and narratives of his cutting-edge action research.
Visionary Pragmatism offers a theory of revolutionary cooptation
that, in part, selectively employs practices and strategies of the
dominant order to radically alter the coordinates of power and
possibility. Underscoring the potential, vitality, and power of
emerging democratic practices to change the world, Visionary
Pragmatism's simultaneous theoretical rigor and grounding in actual
political and ecological practices provokes and inspires new ways
of cocreating knowledge and action in dark times.
